to  Explore 

Looking  back, 

I  gazed  at  the  path  I  had  made  .  .  . 
And  I  thought, 
about  myself, 

about  the  paths  I  had  walked, 
and  the  new  direction  I  was 
heading. 

And  suddenly, 

I  realized  .  .  . 

how  small  I  was, 

and  how  insecure  I  was, 

and  how  big  the  world  was- 

and  how  lonely  the  new  path  was; 

and  I  wanted  to  turn  back. 

But  as  I  turned 

and  looked  back  .  .  . 

the  wind  had  blown  out  my  tracks. 

So  I  walked  on  forward, 
and  didn’t  look  back  again.

Responding  to 
Adventures  Is  Fun 


Is  there  really  any  fun  in  being  sen¬ 
tenced  to  five  years?  It  could  be;  it  is  all 
in  the  way  you  look  at  it.  While  some  of 
us  took  regular  trips  to  the  library  to 
browse  around,  to  read  the  newspapers, 
to  check  out  a  book,  or  to  do  research 
for  themes  or  term  papers,  others  per¬ 
formed  skits,  gave  book  reports,  watched 
movies,  and  played  word  games  all  in  the 
name  of  English. 


Allen  Call  and  Melanie  Harris  earn  extra  credit  by  displaying 
their  talents  on  a  bulletin  board. 


While  waiting  for  the  bell  to  ring  in  senior  English  class,  David 
Hoffman  and  Eddie  Price  concentrate  on  the  basic  rules  of 
writing  a  term  paper.

Jerry  Blackwell  puts  his  term  paper  notes  in  order  while  Debbie 
Hay  contemplates  what  to  do  next. 


The  sun  shining  through  the  windows  makes  it  hard  for 
juniors  in  Mrs.  Roberts'  class  to  concentrate  on  American 
literature. 


They  say  that  "no  man  is  an  island,  "  but  Billy  Snodgrass  and 
some  of  his  classmates  work  individually  in  the  great  sea  of 
knowledge. 


Cleaning  the  room  for  a  Region  IV  forensic  meet  is  part  of 
English,  tool  It  teaches  responsibility.  Brent  Nicely,  Darrius 
Carbary,  Johnny  Wright,  and  Debbie  Pope  join  in  the  fun. 


Joey  Johnson  and  David  May  prove  that  there  is  more  than  one 
way  to  do  a  book  report-by  constructing  a  log  cabin.

Across  the  Water 


Amy  Stringer,  Stacey  Shaffer,  and  Mark  Hilt  recite  dialogue, 
a  frequent  exercise  in  French. 


Mrs.  Southerlin  makes  sure  that  Sara  Johnson  understands  her 
Spanish  classwork. 


Parlez  vous  Francais,  Que  hablo  Ud 
Espanol.  If  you  were  lucky  you  did,  es¬ 
pecially  if  you  were  going  abroad.  It 
wouldn't  be  much  fun  to  get  lost  in  a 
foreign  country  if  you  didn't  speak 
French  or  Spanish.  Those  who  didn't 
take  a  foreign  language  almost  wished 
they  had  when  they  learned  of  the  trip 
to  Europe.  A  week  was  spent  in  Europe 
with  the  Spanish  students  in  Spain  and 
the  French  students  in  France. 

Dicisne  Latina.  The  Latin  students 
weren't  left  out  completely  as  they  had 
a  Latin  Banquet.  Roman  decorations, 
Roman  food,  and  even  Roman  dress 
were  part  of  the  banquet.  Speaking  La¬ 
tin  came  in  handy  at  the  banquet  also. 


Lisa  Reedy  attempts  to  brighten  up  the  Spanish  room  by  cutting  out 
designs  to  go  on  the  bulletin  board.

You  Cant  Fool 
Mother  Nature 

No  need  to  call  the  fire  department,  it's 
only  the  burning  desire  of  the  chemistry  stu¬ 
dents  to  perform  fiery  experiments.  No 
need  to  call  the  school  nurse,  (if  we  had 
had  one)  it’s  only  the  biology  students  dis¬ 
secting  earth  worms  and  frogs.  And  don’t 
call  the  truant  officer,  it's  only  the  eco¬ 
logy  students  taking  a  walk  along  the  na¬ 
ture  trail.  Exploring  Mother  Nature  makes 
one  more  appreciative  as  he  walks  down 
the  trail  of  life.

History  Comes  Alive 

"Will  you  marry  me?"  "Give  me  liberty  or 
give  me  death!"  Sometimes  we  confused  Socio¬ 
logy  and  American  History.  But  learning  quo¬ 
tations  isn't  the  only  thing  we  did  in  Social 
Studies.  We  learned  about  the  climate  in 
geography  while  in  humanities,  we  learned 
about  the  culture  of  man.  Williamsburg  and 
Richmond  became  more  than  just  the  names  of 
two  cities  after  we  finished  studying  Virginia 
Government  and  Virginia  History.  After  we 
have  finished  high  school,  the  things  we  learned 
in  Social  Studies  will  make  us  or  break  us. 


In  Sociology  Class,  some  people  spend  their  time  concentrating 
on  their  assignment,  while  others  enjoy  bugging  Coach  Bishop. 


Lyn  Asbury  reads  about  how  we  won  our  independence  from 
England,  while  his  classmates  concentrate  on  various  things.

Math  Students  Play 
Numbers  Game 

From  General  Business  to  Advanced  Math 
our  minds  were  filled  with  millions  of  num¬ 
bers.  Sometimes  we  did  not  know  whether  to 
add,  subtract,  multiply,  or  divide,  but  with  the 
teachers'  help,  we  finally  arrived  at  the  correct 
answer.  Some  were  glad  that  only  two  years  of 
Math  were  required,  while  others  studied  fur¬ 
ther  into  theorms  and  complicated  equations. 
Trying  to  prove  that  x=y  wasn't  always  easy, 
and  solving  problems  that  took  three  sheets  of 
paper  wasn't  easy  either.  Striving  to  get  high 
grades  in  Math  also  made  us  think  logically  for 
ourselves. 


Mr.  Jesse  makes  sure  that  Denny  Farmer  solves  a  math  problem 
correctly.

Knowing  how  to  work  all  the 
instruments  on  the  dashboard  of  the 
car  is  the  first  step  of  Driver’s 
Training;  learning  to  drive  is  last 
but  certainly  not  least.  Parallel  park¬ 
ing  was  one  of  the  hardest  things  to 
learn  and  keeping  within  the  speed 
limit  wasn't  easy.  From  back  gravel 
roads  to  the  interstate,  practice 
makes  perfect.

Exercise  Produces 
Physical  Fitness 

Milk  builds  strong  bodies,  so  does 
plenty  of  exercise  and  that  is  just  what 
the  8th,  9th,  and  10th  grades  got.  Chewing 
gum  in  the  gym  meant  running  laps  and 
sweeping  the  floor.  Winter  could  find  the  co¬ 
ed  gym  classes  playing  kick  ball  or  working 
on  the  trampoline,  rings,  horse,  or  parallel 
bars.  Spring  would  find  the  classes  on  the 
track  or  softball  field.  Working  for  the  Presi¬ 
dent's  Physical  Fitness  awards  was  hard  but 
displaying  the  patch  was  easier. 


Sharon  ReMine,  and  Kathy  Conners  have  their  eyes  on  the  ball  as 
Karen  Jones  tries  for  a  basket. 


Levonne  Sexton  practices  her  jumping  ability  on  the

Healthy  Knowledge 

Learning  how  the  blood  circulates 
through  the  body  and  the  chambers  of 
the  heart  was  part  of  health  class.  The 
eighth  graders  spent  the  year  in  health 
learning  about  their  bodies  and  hygiene. 
If  you  happened  to  walk  in  a  room  with 
people  lying  on  the  floor  with  splints  on 
their  legs  and  their  heads  wrapped  up, 
it  wasn’t  the  clinic,  it  was  a  ninth 
grade  health  class.  The  tenth  grade 
spend  their  last  year  of  health  class 
learning  how  to  yield  the  right  of  way, 
how  to  stay  within  the  speed  limits, 
and  how  to  drive  a  car.

Secure  Jobs 
for  the  Future 

Early  to  bed  and  early  to  rise  makes  a 
man  healthy,  wealthy  and  wise.  D.E.  morn¬ 
ing  students  aren't  sure  about  the  healthy  and 
wise  part  but  the  wealthy  part  could  be  true. 
After  the  morning  classes,  the  D.E.  stu¬ 
dents  left  for  work.  Other  D.E.  students  got 
up  early  for  jobs  and  came  to  school  in  the 
afternoon.  These  students  missed  activities 
of  the  school  such  as  assemblies,  but  the 
experience  and  knowledge  they  gained  from 
their  jobs  made  up  for  these.  For  many, 
these  jobs  could  be  a  lifetime  job,  for 
others,  a  stepping  stone  to  higher  jobs.

Fingers  Be  Nimble 

A  chicken  hadn't  been  scratching  on  this 
page,  this  was  shorthand.  Taking  dictation 
was  okay,  if  you  could  read  what  you  had 
written.  A,  S,  D,  F,  J,  K,  L;  first  year 
typing  students  had  these  letters  running 
through  their  heads.  Second  year  students  had 
problems,  too.  Tabulation  problems  could 
cause  a  headache.  Filing  records  and  learning 
correct  office  procedures  were  all  a  part  of  the 
business  department.  The  duplicating  machine 
sometimes  made  funny  noises  but  usually  the 
stenciled  copies  came  out  right.

Future  Careers 


Catching  the  bus  in  the  pouring  rain  is  not 
much  fun.  The  fun  came  after  we  got  to  the 
technical  school.  Some  of  us  went  to  practical 
nursing  and  cosmetology  while  others  went  to 
masonery  and  auto  mechanics.  The  people  who 
attended  the  technical  school  were  priviledged 
to  belong  to  the  Vocational  Industrial  Clubs  of 
America.  Having  had  technical  training,  we 
are  now  prepared  to  go  out  into  the  world  and 
find  a  place  for  ourselves. 

It  wasn't  until  spring  that  we  changed  loca¬ 
tions  from  the  old  Washington  County  Techni¬ 
cal  School  to  the  new  Neff  Vocational  complex. 


Charlie  Poole,  Howard  Barker,  and  Andy  Trent  work 
patiently  to  acquire  skills  in  Electronics. 


Welding  looks  fun  as  well  as  interesting.  Greg  Sykes  and  Jeff

What’s  burning?  What’s  cooking?  The  odors  of

dents  wish  they  were  taking  Home  Economics. 
Sometimes  we  wondered  why  our  biscuits  didn't 
turn  out  right,  especially  wnen  we  had  the  recipe 
right  in  front  of  us.  Advanced  home  economics 
students  planned  and  prepared  a  full-course 
Thanksgiving  meal. 

Some  of  us  set  the  school’s  record"  for  putting

pretty  in  our  eyes.

Randy  Crusenberry  and  Parks  Widener  have  the  task  of  carrying

Green  Thumbs  Galore 

The  horticulture  students  gained  new 
respect  for  Mother  Nature  and  all  her  hard 
work  after  having  dirty  finger  nails.  The 
greenhouse  had  to  be  rebuilt  after  the  fire 
we  had,  luckily  the  fire  didn't  ruin  too  many 
plants.  Some  flowers  were  burned  by  too 
much  fertilizer,  because  unfortunately 
everyone  was  not  blessed  with  green 
thumbs . 


Learning  to  mix  soil  and  fertilizer  is  a  basic  thing  in 
horticulture.  Karen  Scott  takes  pleasure  in  this. 


Talk  about  getting  your  fingernails  dirty!  Wonder  if  Ruth 
Lewis  worries  about  this  as  she  mixes  up  the  soil  with  her 
hands. 


Randy  Crusenberry,  JoAnna  Anderson,  Karen  Scott,  and  Parks 
Widener  carefully  watch  over  their  Easter  Lilies,  hoping  they 
will  be  full  grown  by  Easter.

More  Than  Books 
in  Media  Center 

Whether  you  need  to  catch  up  on  the  daily  news, 
need  information  for  a  report,  need  to  locate  a 
book,  or  need  a  filmstrip  and  projector,  the  li¬ 
brary  is  the  place  to  go.  The  "sh's"  of  the  librar¬ 
ians  provide  for  a  peaceful  quiet  so  that  studying 
or  reading  is  no  problem.  The  Audio-Visual  room 
provides  teachers  with  movie  projectors,  tape 
recorders,  record  players,  and  other  material 
used  for  their  classes. 


Beverly  Eskridge  and  Eddie  Price  make  use  of  their  free  period  by

Learning  to  sing  is  a  lot  like  a  math 
problem- -it  takes  a  lot  of  counting. 
Counting  measures  so  that  everyone  will 
come  in  at  the  same  time  and  beats  so 
that  everyone  will  keep  the  same  tempo. 
Concerts  during  Spring  and  Christmas 
were  part  of  the  year's  work.

Blood ,  Sweat, 
and  Tears 

"Blood,  sweat,  and  tears"  was  the 
motto  of  the  band  as  they  made  their 
way  from  Maryville,  Tennessee  to  Walt 
Disney  World,  Florida.  The  blood 
came  when  knees  were  "kicked  up"  at 
the  band  camp  at  Maryville;  the  sweat 
came  as  we  marched  from  sun-up  to 
sun-down;  and  the  tears  flowed  when 
we  got  a  II  rating  at  the  Bristol  Band 
Festival.  The  year  wasn't  totally  lost 
as  we  received  a  I  rating  in  District 
Festival. 


Mr.  Tyler  runs  along  beside  the  band 
to  make  sure  they  keep  in  step.

Accomplishment  in 
Special  Olympics 

With  high  hopes,  the  special  ed¬ 
ucation  students  traveled  to  Marion 
for  the  regional  special  Olympics 
track  meet.  The  class  is  made  up  of 
students  from  all  county  high  schools 
The  students  also  took  part  in  home 
economics,  horticulture,  shop,  and 
courses  at  the  technical  school.  The 
end  of  the  year  held  a  special  treat 
for  these  students  as  they  had  a 
picnic  at  Camp  Waldo  Miles. 


Mike  Mumpower  is  aware  of  what's  going  on 
around  him,  while  student  aide,  Kari  Gardner, 
focuses  her  attention  on  the  film.

True  Art  Forms 

Drawing  pictures  and  coloring  a  painting 
are  all  a  part  of  art,  but  art  involves  other 
things  as  well.  Hooking  rugs,  sculpting, 
stitchery,  making  afgans,  and  embroidery 
are  part  of  it  also.  Expressing  one's  self 
on  paper  is  fine  but  expressing  interest  in 
other  ways  is  important,  too.  On  the  walls 
near  the  art  room,  colorful  pictures  drawn 
by  the  art  students  were  displayed.  Pastels 
and  crayons  added  to  the  drab  green  walls. 


Painting  isn't  all  you  do  in  art.  Rick  Murray  proves  this  as 
he  embroiders  on  a  piece  of  burlap. 


Ronnie  Coleman  expresses  his  talent  by  painting  a  nature  scene 
in  art  class.

Free  for  an  Hour 

A  time  to  study?  For  some.  A  time  to 
sleep,  to  talk,  to  do  homework  for  others. 
A  free  period  in  a  long  day  to  do  whatever 
is  necessary.  Some  spent  their  study 
period  picking  up  absentee  slips,  working 
in  the  office,  or  being  a  gym  assistant. 
Senior  study  was  quite  different.  More 
freedom  was  given  so  long  as  it  was  not 
abused. 


Studying  means  hard  concentration  for  Alice  Nash,  Ruth 
Lewis,  and  Terry  Thomas. 


Shelia  Cunningham,  Kathy  Russell,  Allen  Call,  Peggy  Cox,  and 
Stephen  James  study  together  in  Senior  Study.

Falcons  Dare

I  learned  this,  at  least,  by  my  ex¬ 
periment  that  if  one  advances  confidently 
in  the  direction  of  his  dreams,  and  en¬ 
deavors  to  live  the  life  which  he  has 
imagined,  he  will  meet  with  a  success

Quality  Education 
Paramount  Goal 

Quality  education  for  the  students  of 
Washington  County  and  good  teaching  con¬ 
ditions  in  comfortable  buildings  were  some 
of  the  many  goals  for  which  the  school  board 
aimed.  A  new  superintendent.  Dr.  N. 

Grant  Tubbs,  came  in  time  to  help  formu¬ 
late  policies  and  programs  of  action.  Stu¬ 
dents,  parents  and  other  interested  patrons 
served  with  members  of  the  school  board  in 
an  advisory  capacity;  and,  for  the  first  time, 
patrons  served  on  committees  for  selection 
of  textbooks. 

In  true  "Falcon"  spirit,  the  school 
board  and  the  staff  of  the  school  board  of¬ 
fice  exhibited  a  wingspan  that  encouraged 
Washington  County  schools  to  soar  to  new 
heights  with  pride.

From  the  ringing  of  the  first  bell  in  Au¬ 
gust  when  school  began  until  the  strains  of 
"Pomp  and  Circumstance"  were  played  at 
graduation,  teachers  were  friends-  con¬

unveiling  their  talents;  chaperons-  touring

time  for  extra  coffee.  Two  weeks  of

as  well  as  sighs  of  relief  when  classes

A  Loving  Tribute 
to  Two  Teachers 

21  gun  salute!  No  less  than  this  is 
deserved  by  Mrs.  Beatrice  Cox  and 
Mrs. Jeannette  Hargroves.  Their 
years  of  service  and  dedication  stand 
as  an  inspiration  to  all  who  enter  the 
teaching  profession.  Mrs.  Cox  made 
us  realize  our  world  was  exciting  and 
a  challenge  to  all.  Her  contagious  en¬ 
thusiasm  for  knowledge  had  to  have  an 
effect  on  all  around  her.  Mrs.  Har¬ 
groves  impressed  her  students  as  a 
person  and  a  teacher.  Having  taught 
in  both  Science  and  Home  Economics 
departments,  she  has  influenced  many 
students. 


Mrs.  Hargroves  takes  time  for  a  disucssion  with  Leslie  Cox. 


Mrs.  Cox  had  perfect  rapport  with  her  class  at  all  times.

Starting  All 
Over  Again 

It  seemed  as  though  Abingdon  High 
School  was  going  to  be  controlled  by 
eighth  graders  as  they  came  in  full 
force  this  year.  They  may  have  been 
just  a  little  confused  as  room  numbers 
and  hallways  all  seemed  to  look  alike. 
They  found  themselves  being  afraid  of 
the  upper  classmen,  dreading  physical 
education  only  to  like  it  later,  and 
being  scared  but  at  the  same  time  eager 
to  eat  their  own  cooking  in  Home  Ec. 

They  showed  they  were  not  firm  believers 
in  Women's  Lib  as  their  class  was 
guided  by  all  male  officers.  They  came 
through,  like  all  the  others  before  them, 
and  took  their  place  at  Abingdon  High 
School. 


After  the  school  year  began  the  following  eighth  grade  officers  were 
elected:  Timmy  Anderson,  Sec.  ,  Bobby  Farnsworth,  Pres.  ,  Mike 
Heisler,  Vice  Pres.  ,  Robert  Hilt,  Reporter.

Hitch  Your  Float  to 
the  Right  Wagon 

The  biggest  lesson  learned  this  year 
was  to  put  our  float  on  the  right  wagon.  We 
became  involved  in  other  activies  as  some 
of  us  took  Math  9  others  tackled  geometry. 
We  all  struggled  through  Medical  Self- 
help  while  others  contributed  to  the  suc¬ 
cess  of  the  advertising  campaign  and 
circulation  drive  of  the  Beacon.  For  some 
of  us,  the  best  was  yet  to  come,  as  a 
selected  few  were  drafted  into  the  new 
world  of  "A"  band.  Most  of  all,  we  enjoyed 
not  being  on  the  bottom  and  being  able  to 
pick  on  the  eighth  graders.

Beware! 

Sophomores 

Licensed  to  Drive 

Being  an  upper  classman  involved  going 
to  the  assemblies  and  standing  for  the 
Seniors,  as  well  as  playing  both  girls  and 
boys  varsity  sports.  This  was  the  last  year 
of  carrying  home  gym  suits  and  taking 
showers.  All  of  this  made  us  feel  big  and 
important.  As  some  of  the  sophomores 
were  getting  their  licenses  to  drive,  the 
rest  of  the  student  body  stayed  out  of  their 
way,  and  off  the  road.  Some  of  us  were 
failing  Biology  as  we  used  our  surgical, 
skills  on  innocent  frogs,  while  the  smarter 
ones  didn't  take  Biology.  We  all  seemed  to 
make  it  though,  and  moved  on  up  the  road 
to  bigger  and  better  things.

Second  From 
the  Top 

The  road  to  the  top  is  a  rough  and 
rocky  one.  The  year  was  filled  with 
many  activities  and  hard  work  for  the 
junior  class.  The  sale  of  magazines 
was  the  first  and  most  successful  pro¬ 
ject.  Many  junior  homeroom  sessions 
were  held  to  encourage  the  class  to  work 
and  to  collect  money.  Unfortunately  all 
candy  is  not  so  sweet--  the  Tootsie  Roll 
sales  weren't  very  successful.  The  class 
frantically  made  last  minute  plans  and 
preparations  for  the  prom.  When  juniors 
weren't  selling  things,  they  were  studying 
U.  S.  History,  English,  foreign  languages, 
physics,  chemistry.  Algebra  II,  band  and 
other  elective  courses.  Ordering  and 
receiving  class  rings  were  pleasures 
that  brought  the  juniors  one  step  closer 
to  becoming  seniors.

It  Is  Time 
for  a  Change 

After  four  previous  years,  wishing 
and  waiting  we  finally  made  it.  Reaching 
the  top  isn't  all  peaches  and  cream.  Re¬ 
alizing  that  after  this  year  we  won't  have 
Abingdon  High  School  to  depend  on  can 
be  mind  baffling.  Things  changed  this 
year.  The  Senior  courtyard  was  closed 
due  to  apathetic  attitude  toward  it.  In¬ 
stead  of  a  3  act  Senior  play,  one  One- 
act  play  was  rehearsed.  Graduation  ac¬ 
tivities  were  added  to  as  we  had  a  class 
night  for  parents  and  close  friends. 
Mixed  emotions  prevailed  in  the  class  as 
graduation  time  came  near.

Falcons  Dare 
to  Conquer 

It  is  defeat  that  turns  bone  to  flint, 
and  gristle  to  muscle,  and  makes  men 
invincible,  and  formed  those  heroic 
natures  that  are  now  in  ascendency  in 
the  world. 

Do  not  then  be  afraid  of  defeat. 

You  are  never  so  near  to  victory 
as  when  defeated  in  a  good  cause.

Losers  Never  Win;  Winners  Never  Lose 


Football  is  discipline  -  when  friends 
are  getting  together  at  the  local  hangout 
after  school,  the  players  are  hitting  the 
seven-man  sleds  or  running  agility 
drills.  Football  is  courage  -  it  is  losing, 
and  then  instead  of  quitting,  the  team 
does  what  it  takes  to  return  to  the  field 
and  face  another  challenger.  Football  is 
cooperation  -  the  team  members  learn 
to  depend  upon  and  work  with  others. 

The  Falcons  won  two  games  and  lost 
eight  on  the  gridiron.  According  to  the 
scoreboard,  this  was  a  losing  season, 
but  because  football  is  more  than  a 
game,  the  team  won.  They  won  experi¬ 
ence,  knowledge,  and  self-discipline  - 
qualities  that  will  be  beneficial  in  the 
greater  game  of  life.

Victory  Over  Blue  Devils  Highlights  Year 

Gosh!  It  sure  was  hot  August  10. 
Would  it  be  worth  all  the  aching  mus¬ 
cles,  bruises,  and  sweaty  uniforms, 
to  become  a  Falcon  J.  V.  footballer? 
Ask  a  J.  V.  this  question  and  he  would 
say  it  was  worth  it  all  because  the 
experience  he  gained  would  be  useful 
in  future  varsity  competition. 

The  experience  gained  was  shown 
through  the  season  record  of  the 
young  Falcons.  Through  the  first  six 
games  they  had  three  losses  and 
three  ties  and  then  finished  the  season 
with  three  straight  wins  for  a  record 
of  3-3-3-.

Gridiron  Greats 
Begin  Training 

Only  seconds  remained  and  it  was 
the  last  play  of  the  first  game.  The 
quarterback  raced  65  yards  for  the 
winning  touchdown.  In  the  home  game 
with  Gate  City,  it  was  first  and  goal  at 
the  Falcon  four  yard  line  with  one  min¬ 
ute  left  to  play.  The  Falcon  defense 
stopped  the  Blue  Devils  with  a  yard  loss 
on  fourth  down  then  ran  out  the  clock 
with  a  14-6  victory.  The  final  game  was 
at  Marion.  At  the  end  of  three  quarters 
the  score  was  6-6.  Then  a  well-executed 
punt  return  team  raised  the  score  to  14- 
6  and  again  the  defense  was  put  to  the 
test  and  met  the  challenge  with  poise. 

Eight  wins  and  three  losses  seemed 
quite  an  enviable  record  for  twenty- 
seven  eighth  graders,  their  coaches, 
and  faithful  fans. 


Twenty-seven  eighth  graders  look  up  to  three  tall 
men-on  the  football  field  during  practice  and  in 
everyday  life.

Falcons  Will 
Rise  Again 

According  to  the  press,  Falcons  were 
stopped,  pasted,  clobbered,  trounced, 
beaten,  topped,  defensed,  defeated  and 
they  bowed,  tumbled,  and  fell.  They  also 
winged,  rolled  and  got  by  some  teams. 
Falcons  are  by  nature  proud,  high-flying, 
and  distinctive;  the  young  and  inexperi¬ 
enced  fledgling  attempts  great  things  but 
he  does  not  sink  into  permanent  depre- 
sion  if  at  first  he  does  not  succeed.  He 
sets  his  sights  on  other  goals  and  seeks 
to  attain  them.  With  a  record  of  5-14  at 
the  end  of  regular  season  play,  we  sought 
new  goals.

Foul  Weather  in  Falconland 


It's  been  a  long,  hard  winter.  Not 
much  snow  but  the  whole  season  wras  just 
not  good  Falcon  weather.  When  one  is 
learning  to  leave  the  nest,  he  must  be 
careful  to  follow  instructions  especially 
during  stormy  weather.  We  got  off  the 
ground  a  few  times,  learned  to  flap  our 
wings  and  kept  trying.

•Overtime 

Early  in  the  year,  coach  found  out  who  we 
were  and  how  well  we  could  run.  He  encouraged 
individual  pride,  practice,  and  perseverance. 
When  teamwork  time  came  we  put  to  use  the 
techniques  of  good  strategy  and  prevailed  on 
our  parents  to  pick  us  up  after  practice  and 
PLEASE  have  supper  ready. 

Long  hard  days  produced  nights  of  ease  - 
well,  almost  ease.  Our  9-5  regular  season  re¬ 
cord  was  enviable  and  we  had  every  reason  to 

have  high  hopes  for  a  wider  wing  span  in  future

Go  to  Regional

"Catch  that  fellow  in  green  shorts", 
was  all  coach  had  to  say  to  the  best 
Swedish  runner  in  Southwest  Virginia. 

Jan  and  his  teammates,  through  their 
long  hours  of  practice,  brought  home 
five  trophies  and  a  season  of  35  wins 
and  22  losses.  In  the  Abingdon  Relays 
we  placed  8th  out  of  20  teams.  We  filled 
the  4th  place  spot  in  the  district  meet. 
Nine  tracksters  qualified  for  the  regional 
meet  and  4  others  went  to  the  state  meet. 
Anthony  Anderson  who  ran  the  440  and 
Vaughn  Gardner  who  pole  vaulted  were 
the  best  in  Southwest  Virginia.  With  a 
winning  percentageof  .  628  the  Falcons 
had  a  good  season. 


George  Gregory  pushes  for  the  finish  line  while  Zan  Fugate  follows  right

Grappling 
With  Pride 

From  the  first  drop  of  sweat  in 
November  to  the  end  of  the  season  in 
February  every  Falcon  wrestler 
walked  with  pride  and  determination. 
The  Falcons  finished  fourth  in  the 
District  with  an  overall  record  of  8-5. 

John  Sheffey  and  Joey  Johnson  were 
co-captains  of  the  Falcons.  February 
7  and  8  was  the  Regional  Tournament 
at  Marion.  The  team  finished  fourth 
with  49^  points.  From  the  Regional, 
four  Falcons  qualified  for  the  State 
Tournament.  They  were  Gary  Smith, 
third  (98  lb. );  Gary  Andis,  second 
(105  lb. );  John  Jenkins,  third  (138  lb. ); 
Rusty  Kitch,  second  (155  lb. ).

Varsity  Baseball 

Monsoon  Season 
on  the  Diamond 

Flying  high,  the  Falcon  baseball 
team  fought  hard  and  came  up  with  a 
winning  season.  The  Falcons  averaged 
4. 5  runs  a  game  and  the  opposing  team 
averaged  2.5  runs  a  game,  but  iron¬ 
ically  enough  the  season  ended  up  11- 
9.  Several  games  were  postponed  dur¬ 
ing  the  rainy  baseball  season  and  had 
to  be  rescheduled.  Playing  a  rough 
schedule  of  games  against  Southwest 
District  foes  led  the  team  to  the 
tournament.  A  loss  to  Marion  in  the 
first  game  prevented  the  team  from 
going  further. 


Before  a  crucial  game,  Coach  Bishop  hits  some  high  flies  and  low  grounders 
to  improve  fielding  abilities  of  catcher,  Darrius  Carbary  and  the  rest  of  the 
team.

mer,  Tim  Powers,  Bill  Garrett,  Allen  Call,  Rob 
Phillips,  Johnny  Wright,  Tim  Price. 


Darrius  Carbary  signals  for  a  pitch  that  will 
confuse  the  batter  .  .  . 


The  pitch  didn't  work  and  even  a  long  throw  to 
home  won't  stop  the  runner  from  scoring.

spring  air  as  the  boys'  tennis  team 
started  their  third  year  of  competition. 
The  long  hours  of  individual  practice 
improved  their  serves  and  forehands 
which  produced  an  even  season.  The 
heated  matches  were  occasionally 
cooled  off  by  falling  rain.  The  boys

six  and  six  record.  Skill,  spirit,  and  hard  work 
were  sparked  by  the  enthusiasm  shown  by  the 
coaches,  Mr.  Gregory  and  Miss  Wallace.  This 
helped  the  Female  Falcons  fly  high.  This  year 
the  girls  basketball  team  was  honored  by  a  pep 
rally  showing  the  support  of  the  student  body.

GAA  Gymnastic  Show 

The  Show 
Must  Go  On 

A  new  change  to  the  routine  of  Abing¬ 
don  High  was  a  Gym  Show  sponsored  by 
the  Girls'  Athletic  Department.  It  high¬ 
lighted  students  performing  on  the  rings 
and  parallel  bars,  tumbling,  and  doing 
modern  dances.  It  also  had  special 
choreography  and  lighting  effects.  The 
success  of  the  show  proved  it  would 
probably  become  an  annual  affair.

Girl’s  Tennis 
I’m  a  Tennis  Nut! 


"Are  you  working  on  your  forehand?",  was  heard 
as  the  girls  tennis  team  started  its  second  year  of 
competition.  They  spent  many  hours  practicing.  The 
team  order  was  decided  in  many  fast-played  chal¬ 
lenge  matches.  The  team  had  a  6-7-1  season  and 
played  their  home  matches  at  the  Glenrochie  Country 
Club  or  at  the  Abingdon  Elementary  Courts.

Resurrect  the 
Falcon  Mascot 

Painting  Latture  Field  was 
one  of  the  hardest  jobs  since 
practicing  for  routines  at  the 
U.  T.  cheerleading  camp.  We 
got  ribbons  for  excellence  at 
camp  and  ribbons  of  "sweat"  at 
Latture.  We  had  watermelon 
parties  for  football  players, 
spaghetti  dinners  for  both  boys' 
and  girls'  basketball  teams, 
cheerleading  clinics  for  chil¬ 
dren,  and  bake  sales  for  anyone 
who  wanted  to  help  support  the 
cause.  Putting  up  spirit  signs, 
sponsoring  pep  rallies,  and  re¬ 
surrecting  the  Falcon  mascot 
took  a  lot  of  work  but  it  helped 
the  school  spirit.

Being  a  Cheerleader 
Was  Worth  It  All 

Being  a  JV  Cheerleader  was  not  all  fun 
and  games.  Practice  started  early  in  the 
summer  at  Latture  Field.  Routine  was 
broken  slightly  as  we  had  bake  sales  and 
window  washes.  But  being  a  JV  Cheer¬ 
leader  was  really  worth  it  when  you 
cheered  your  heart  out  at  a  game,  and  then 
your  team  won.  During  pep  rallies,  we  also 
got  to  cheer  to  show  that  we  were  really 
rooting  for  our  team.  Toward  the  end  of 
the  year,  some  of  us  set  our  goals  on 
trying  out  for  Varsity  Cheerleading.

Fun  has  no  age  limit 

When  smiles  flow 

Between  persons 

Because  something  has  happened 

To  light  an  inner  glow. 

When  "we"  and  "they" 

Become  "us" 

The  day  is  always  brighter 
The  world  a  better  place  to  know, 

The  gap  between  generations 

Becomes  unimportant 

And  the  power  of  love  begins  to  show.

Future  Business  Leaders  of  America 

F.B.L.A.  Mixes  Work  and  Pleasure 


Keeping  busy  was  the  schedule  for  the 
Future  Business  Leaders  of  America.  Money 
making  projects  such  as  car  window  washes 
and  selling  plaques  of  Mickey  Mouse  and 
other  animated  characters  kept  the  F.  B.  L.  A. 
in  the  "green". 


The  whole  year  wasn't  all  hard  work.  A 
Halloween  Party  for  the  Special  Education 
classes  was  part  of  the  fun.  A  picnic  near 
the  end  of  the  year  for  old  and  prospective 
members  was  held  at  Mrs.  Linda  Kiser's 
house. 


Club  sponsors  Mrs.  Linda  Kiser  and  Mrs.  Barbara  Lucy  discuss  money  raising  plans 
with  Debbie  Gill,  Donna  Warren,  and  Sandra  Barrett.

Ann  Campbell  uses  her  spare  time  wisely  as  she  does  some  repair  work 
for  Mrs.  Adams. 


It  takes  a  homemaker  in  a  house  to 
make  a  home.  Nowadays  a  homemaker 
needs  to  know  more  than  cooking  and 
sewing;  she  must  plan  in  many  areas. 
Good  training  is  a  must;  we  planned 
and  sponsored  a  cookout  for  new  mem¬ 
bers,  had  parties  for  children  in  the 
hospital,  visited  the  nursing  home, 
modeled  in  a  fashion  show  and  adopted 
a  family  who  needed  help.  A  field  trip 
to  VPI  encouraged  us  to  plan  further.

Nothing  Old, 
Something  New 

Everything  was  new  -  new  school, 
new  club,  new  sponsor,  new  ideals, 
and  new  officers  for  a  newly  formed 
group.  The  name  Flame  seemed  ap¬ 
propriate,  for  it  was  our  purpose  to 
warm  up  to  the  idea  of  service  and  to 
glow  with  the  satisfaction  of  a  job  well 
done.  With  money  made  at  bake  sales 
we  purchased  books  for  the  pediatrics 
ward  at  the  hospital.  We  also  financed 
a  trip  to  the  Tri  HI  Y  convention  at 
Ferrum  College.

Checkmate  seemed  to  be  the  fa¬ 
vorite  word  of  the  chess  club,  a 
newly  formed  club  under  the  direction 
of  Mr.  Hicks.  The  tournament  was 
the  highlight  of  the  year  as  some 
games  lasted  a  week  long.  Every 
spare  moment  was  spent  planning 
strategy  for  the  next  game.  Though 
the  membership  was  small,  there 
was  a  "large"  interest  in  our  newest 
club.

Leadership  in 
Sales  and  Service 

"Would  you  like  to  buy  a  ticket  to 
the  D.E.  Club's  car  wash?"  This  was  a 
question  that  was  often  heard  from 
D.E.  students.  The  money  from  this 
annual  car  wash  and  Christmas  candle 
sale  was  used  for  the  Employer-Em¬ 
ployee  Banquet.  This  was  the  most  im¬ 
portant  activity  of  the  D.  E.  Club.  Jack 
Yates  was  awarded  District  V  D.  E. 
Student  of  the  Year.  The  highlight  of 
the  year  was  the  District  Leadership 
Conference.

in  the  front  hall  to  board  the  bus  to 
Bays  Mountain  where  we  attended  a

Civinettes. 

Work  Is  Fun 
Sometimes 

They  say  you  can't  mix  business 
and  pleasure;  but  in  Civinettes,  it  is 
hard  to  distinguish  them.  It  was  fun 
collecting  for  the  heart  fund  and 
helping  with  the  blood  pressure 
clinic;  it  was  hard  work  working  out 
for  football;  it  was  fun,  if  you  were 
an  old  member  at  initiation  and  hard 
work  if  you  were  a  new  member 
during  initiation.  Hard  work  provided 
a  beautiful  float  for  Miss  Washington 
County  in  the  Burley  Parade  and  the 
fun  did  not  come  until  all  the  work  was 
done  for  the  Sadie  Hawkins  Dance.

First  Place  Float 
in  Tobacco  Festival 

Standing  in  the  rain  and  cold, 
the  Interact  Club  started  the  year 
by  selling  football  programs.  The 
club’s  hard  work  and  sore  fingers 
were  well  worth  it  during  the 
Tobacco  Festival  when  their  float 
won  first  place.  Linemarque  pro¬ 
vided  the  music  for  the  Interact 
Christmas  dance.  Students  enjoyed 
both  getting  out  of  class  and  watch¬ 
ing  the  basketball  game  between  the 
Interact  and  the  men  faculty.  The 
club  sponsored  a  senior  scholar¬ 
ship  and  the  Outstanding  Teacher 
Award.

Come  to  the  Fair 

Who  ever  heard  of  a  work -night 
picnic?  The  members  of  the  Library- 
Club  came,  had  fun  eating,  and  then 
worked  with  librarians  on  the  needs 
of  the  media  center.  The  group  spon¬ 
sored  a  welfare  child  remembering 
him  on  special  occasions.  Having  a 
tea  for  the  teachers  helped  make  the 
week  seem  just  a  bit  shorter.  The 
Book  Fair  sponsored  and  conducted  by 
Library  Club  members  gave  everyone 
the  chance  to  purchase  paperback  books.

Our  new  Royal  typewriter  really

they  appreciated  it,  too).  At  our 
monthly  meetings,  we  discussed  and 
judged  the  creative  writing  which  had 
been  submitted  for  publication  in  the 
QUILL.  Appropriate  art  was  planned 
and  the  layout  staff  took  the  plans  to 
the  publisher.  As  Ralph  Waldo 
Emerson  said,  "The  reward  of  a 
thing  well  done  is  to  have  done  it.  "

Apathy  Epidemic 
Press  Issue  Here 

There  was  the  spark-the  de¬ 
sire  to  publish  a  newspaper;  there 
were  a  few  students  and  teachers 
who  fanned  the  flame,  and,  as 
usual,  there  was  the  water  bucket 
brigade.  Our  first  issue  was  pub¬ 
lished  in  April  and  we  worked  fe¬ 
verishly  to  report  the  activities  of 
the  last  six  weeks  of  school. 

The  first  edition  yelled  and 
echoed  "apathy,  apathy.  "  Perhaps, 
again  the  press  has  exposed  "a 
Watergate"  and  encouraged  honor¬ 
able  action  and  involvement. 


Kim  Farris  and  Editor  Beth  Hughes  look  over  earlier 
editions  of  the  TALON  for  helpful  suggestions  and 
old  news.

Beacon  Staff  Dare 
to  Meet  Deadlines 

If  you  wanted  a  job  done,  you  gave  it 
to  a  busy  person.  Everyone  who  stayed 
with  the  staff  worked  double  shifts  to 
try  to  meet  deadlines.  We  were  identi¬ 
fying  pictures,  writing  copy,  measuring 
headlines,  and  arranging  the  index  after 
the  advertisements  had  been  sold  and 
the  circulation  campaigns  were  complet¬ 
ed.  Since  some  of  the  staff  had  to  re¬ 
sign,  there  was  not  time  for  "monkey 
business"  but  putting  a  yearbook  to¬ 
gether  is  fun.

Swedish  Friend 
Comes  to  America 

Learning  how  to  say  Jan  Ingemarsson 
was  the  challenge  that  was  thrown  at  the 
students  at  the  beginning  of  the  year.  Jan 
comes  from  Broby,  Ljungbyholm,  Sweden. 

He  arrived  in  Abingdon  in  August,  1974 
making  his  home  with  the  Bill  Howards.  He 
has  participated  in  track  and  has  gone  to 
other  school  activities.  He  learned  about 
religion,  square  dancing  and  other  inter¬ 
esting  topics  in  Humanities,  Many  seniors 
were  shocked  when  their  test  scores  were 
lower  than  Jan's  in  English  class.  Jan  will 
be  missed  be  everyone  when  he  returns  to 
Sweden  in  June,  1975. 

While  patrolling  the  fence  for  the  Key  Club  at  a  football  game,  Jan 
catches  a  souvenir  football. 


Jan  got  to  see  another  part  of  America  when  he  went  to  Florida  with  the  band.

Mima’s  Stay  Is 
Short  but  Sweet 

From  a  large  town,  Sao  Paulo,  in 
Brazil  to  the  small  town  of  Abingdon, 
Virginia  came  Mima  Fernandes,  a  small 
dark-haired,  dark -eyed  exchange  stu¬ 
dent.  Mima  didn’t  stay  in  our  town  very 
long  since  she  missed  the  big  city  atmo¬ 
sphere.  She  left  and  went  to  Baltimore, 
Maryland.  During  her  short  stay,  Mima 
made  her  home  with  the  Wayne  Myers 
family.  While  she  was  a  Falcon  she  at¬ 
tended  the  school  functions  that  took 
place  and  seemed  to  enjoy  them.  Her 
short  stay  made  it  nearly  impossible  to 
get  to  know  Mima  very  well,  but  her  Am¬ 
erican  family  and  closest  friends  en¬ 
joyed  her  stay  and  were  very  sorry  to  see 
her  leave.

Damp  Victory 


"Rain,  rain  go  away,  rain  on  someone  elses' 
parade",  thought  the  few  raincoat  clad  people  at  the 
Homecoming  parade.  Spirit  week  started  things 
off  and  a  series  of  spirited  events  followed.  A 
pep  rally  and  bonfire  brightened  things  up  and 
showed  the  team  that  the  students  were  backing 
them.  Alumni  were  welcomed  to  the  festivities. 
During  half-time,  Sally  Hill,  Senior  class  presi¬ 
dent,  accepted  the  spirit  trophy  and  was  crown¬ 
ed  queen.  Her  court  watched  with  smiles.  After 
a  victory  over  Marion,  it  was  to  the  dance. 

Although  it  rained,  homecoming  was  a  success.

Everybody  Yell 

It's  a  bird,  not  a  plane.  It's  Super 
Falcon!  This  Falcon  was  an  added 
attraction  to  the  pep  rallies.  She 
walked  in  with  the  players  and  carried 
the  spirit  stick.  An  air  of  excitement 
was  felt  as  the  band  played.  The  teams 
were  boosted  by  spirit  of  many  stu¬ 
dents  but  for  others  it  was  a  time  to 
get  out  of  class.  With  a  standing  ova¬ 
tion  the  players  walked  in  proudly  on 
the  red  carpet.

Hop  in 
Your  Socks 

After  a  football  game  or  bas¬ 
ketball  game,  the  place  to  go  is 
the  cafeteria  to  boogie  to  good 
music.  Couples  expressed  the 
reason  for  liking  the  sock- hops 
was  that  it  broke  the  monotony 
of  everyday  school  life.  Students 
enjoyed  the  opportunity  to  get 
together  even  if  it  wasn’t  a 
special  occasion.

Hannah  and  Mike  El  wick  were 
bluejean-clad  and  took  honors  as

covered  the  floor  and  everyone 
enjoyed  the  dance.  Preacher  Yeary 
hitched  couples  with  a  contract  that 
was  good  only  during  the  dance. 

The  only  thing  that  was  missing  was 
a  man  calling  out  "swing  your

"You  can't  buy  a  Beacon  if  your 
light  don't  shine"  was  the  theme  of  the 
teacher  talent  show,  sponsored  by  the 
Beacon  staff.  Teacher's  displayed 
hidden  talent  and  their  efforts  were 
well  rewarded  by  the  appreciation  of 
the  students.  Commercials,  songs, 
and  skits  were  performed  and  every¬ 
one  seemed  to  enjoy  the  antics  of  the 
A.H.  S.  faculty. 


Students  and  faculty  were  taken 
forward  in  time  for  the  setting  of  the 
National  Honor  Society  talent  show. 
Students  participated,  and  various 
talents  were  displayed.  Each  student 
deserved  a  first  place  body  with 
attentiveness  and  appreciation  and

faculty.

Senior  Banquet 

A  Farewell  Toast 
to  Class  of ’75 

Following  tradition,  the  Senior  Class 
Banquet  was  held  at  Greenway  Party 
House  on  May  30.  The  seniors  enjoyed 
the  meal  and  then  relaxed  to  the  remi¬ 
niscing  of  the  good  ole  days  of  elemen¬ 
tary  and  high  school.  Toasts  were 
carried  out,  as  the  students  toasted 
several  clubs,  activities,  and  indivi¬ 
duals.  The  entertainment  brought  happy 
and  sad  tears  as  Patti  Elliott,  Cindy 
Farmer,  and  Beth  Hughes  sang  "Memo¬ 
ries”,  accompanied  by  Sharon  Brown 
and  Kathy  Taylor.  But,  no  class  is  per¬ 
fect;  as  this  was  proved  when  three  silver 
goblets  were  missing  after  the  banquet 
but  were  returned  the  next  day.

“The  Dear  Departed“  Rated  Superior 


Practice  makes  perfect  and  the 
one -act  play  cast  proved  this  when 
they  received  superior  ratings. 

The  play  received  a  superior  rating 
at  the  play  festival  in  regional  com¬ 
petition  and  another  superior  rating 
at  state  competition.  After  school, 
practice  made  the  school  day  longer. 
Mr.  Henry  McCarthy  spent  many 
hours  practicing  with  the  cast. 

There  were  some  behind-the- 
scenes  people  who  were  also  very 
important.  No  play  could  be  pro¬ 
duced  without  the  help  of  the  stage 
crew.  Lighting,  make-up  and 
scenery  are  nearly  as  important 
as  the  cast. 


Donna  Emmert  pours  tea  for  the  members  of  the  family  in  the  play. 


Grandpa  (Thornton  Bowman)  appears  to  the  amazement  of  the  family,  who

Shine  on,  Shine  on 
Junior  Class  Rings 

One  step  closer  to  becoming  a 
Senior!  With  so  many  different  colors 
and  styles  the  choice  was  sometimes 
difficult.  The  fun  part  came  when  the 
juniors  received  their  rings  in  front 
of  the  upperclassmen.  Sending  rings 
back  wasn't  much  fun.  If  the  wrong 
color,  size  or  stone  was  sent,  the 
company  had  to  correct  their  errors. 
The  stage,  deco  rated. with  '76  signs 
displayed  the  pride  of  the  class  as 
they  received  their  coveted  class  rings. 
More  than  rings  were  received,  pride 
and  anticipation  of  the  senior  year  were 
also  given.  There  was  no  doubt  who 
received  their  rings  that  day.  A  beam¬ 
ing  face  was  the  mark  of  every  junior. 


Vicki  Heisler,  Debbie  Lazear  and  Danny  Brittenham  seem  to  have 
different  choices  for  the  stones  for  their  rings. 


Mr.  Aubrey  Brown  congratulates  the  Juniors  on  their  special  day. 


Jerry  Ball  eagerly  reaches  for  his  class  ring  after 
being  personally  congratulated  by  our  principal, 
Mr.  Brown. 


Winners  Compete  in  State  Contest 


We  had  our  share  of  talented  forensic 
winners.  They  went  to  District  contest.  Lisa 
Roberts  won  first  place  in  extemporaneous 
speaking,  Laura  Ryland  won  first  in  spelling, 
and  Debbie  Reed  won  first  in  original  oratory. 
Marilou  Moore  won  second  place  in  poetry 
reading,  Rob  Campany  won  second  in  poetry 
reading  and  Thornton  Bowman  took  second 
place  in  prose  reading.  Regional  winners  in¬ 
cluded  Laura  Ryland,  first  place,  Debbie 
Reed  first,  and  Rob  Campany  first  place. 


Marilou  Moore  and  Thornton  Bowman  won 
second  place.  Marilou  Moore  placed  third 
and  Thornton  Bowman  placed  second  in  the 
state  meet. 

It  all  started  in  English  classes  when 
teachers  made  special  assignments.  "Do 
your  own  thing",  whether  you  read  prose  oi 
poetry  or  made  speeches.  We  didn't  like 
the  assignments  very  much  until  the  medals 
were  presented.

A  Latin  Holiday 

Roman  dress,  decorations,  music  and  food 
were  all  a  part  of  the  festivities  of  the  Latin  Ban¬ 
quet.  Students  from  all  Mrs.  Pless's  Latin  classes 
were  invited.  The  stage  band  provided  the  music 
for  the  banquet.  If  strangers  had  walked  into  the 
cafeteria,  where  the  banquet  was  held,  they  would 
have  thought  they  they  were  in  old  Rome. 


Roman  columns  and  a  statuette  fountain  add  to  the  beauty 
of  the  decorations  of  the  banquet.

He  Loves  Me  .  .  .

'Til  give  you  a  daisy  a  day,  dear" 
was  the  theme  of  the  Spring  Formal 
sponsored  by  the  National  Honor  Soc¬ 
iety.  The  theme  was  carried  out  in  the 
decorations  as  a  Springy  atmosphere 
filled  the  cafeteria.  Bright  streamers 
and  flower  pots  of  daisies  and  a  color¬ 
ful  bulletin  board  carried  out  the  theme 
even  further.  A  new  local  band,  Bonque, 
played  for  the  dance  and  their  brass 
section  was  something  different  from 
the  other  bands  we  have  had.  Donna 
Hannah  was  crowned  May  Queen  and 
individual  pictures  were  taken  of  the 
couples.  Many  people  expressed  their 
opinion  that  this  was  one  of  the  better 
dances  of  the  year. 


Ken  Chittum  and  Cindy  McElyea,  Angi  Pierce  and  Ken  Forster  take  a

New  Dance 
With  Old  Ideas 

"We’re  gonna  rock  around  the  clock  to¬ 
night"!  Bobby  socks,  long  skirts,  shades, 
ponytails,  greasy  kid  stuff,  and  black  leather 
jackets  were  the  attire  worn  to  the  50's  dance, 
held  in  the  gym.  Pop’s  Malt  Shop  was  the  place 
to  go  to  cool  off  with  ice  cream  sodas.  The 
Challengers,  a  strictly  50 ’s  band,  played  four 
hours  of  music  full  of  "Beach  Baby,  "  "Great 
Pretender",  and  other  hits  of  the  "good  old 
days".  The  S.  C.  A.  sponsored  the  groovy  hap¬ 
pening  and  it  was  completely  new  and  enjoy¬ 
able  from  the  dances  to  the  bubblegum  blowing 
contest,  won  by  Mary  Hughes.  This  was  the 
first  50’s  dance  we  had  ever  had,  but  not  many 
people  came  to  enjoy  it.

We  May  Never  Pass  This  Way  Again 


This  theme  was  very  true  for  many  Seniors. 
The  Junior  class  sponsored  the  prom  in  honor  of 
the  Seniors  as  their  gift  to  all  graduates.  Line- 
marque  provided  the  music  for  this,  formal  oc¬ 
casion.  The  prom  was  held  in  the  gym  of  Abing¬ 
don  Elementary  School.  The  walls  of  the  gym 
were  covered  with  paper  resembling  bricks  with 
clinging  vine,  the  dance  floor  had  bright  green 
paper  hedges  and  baskets  of  paper  roses  scat¬ 
tered  about.  For  many  Seniors  the  prom  was  the 
last  dance  they  would  attend  as  students. 


Anthony  Anderson  and  Linda  Ross  take  a  break  and  en¬ 
joy  their  conversation. 


The  dance  floor  was  crowded  with  couples  dancing 
to  the  beat. 


Couples,  couples  everywhere!  !  and  everybody  had  a  good  time. 


Linemarque,  the  band  for  the  prom,  played  mostly  hard  rock  music.

No  Senior  Assembly, 
Class  Night  Instead 

Flying  in  the  face  of  custom,  this 
year’s  Senior  Class  dared  to  be  dif¬ 
ferent.  We  broke  the  tradition  of  having 
a  senior  assembly.  Awards  in  the  aca¬ 
demic  and  athletic  assemblies  for  Sen¬ 
iors  were  held  for  presentation  at  class 
night.  Achievements  from  every  aspect 
of  high  school  were  recognized.  The 
class  poem,  prophecy,  and  will  were 
also  read.  Senior  superlatives  were 
announced  and  scholarships  were  pre¬ 
sented. 

Mr.  Aubrey  Brown  presents  perfect  attendance 
medals  to  Frank  Atwell,  (12  yrs.  ),  Linda  Norris, 

(8  yrs.  ),  Ruth  Canter,  (8  yrs.  ),  Lisa  Reedy,  (1 
yr.  ),  Dolores  Carbary,  (1  yr.  ),  Mark  Henry,  (7 
yrs.  ),  Phil  Shaffer,  (3  yrs.  ),  and  Glened a  Ferguson, 
(2  yrs.  ). 


Mr.  Aubrey  Brown  presents  the  Gibson  Vance  Memorial  Schol¬ 
arship  to  Mark  Henry. 


Mrs.  Jane  Moore  presents  Lisa  Roberts  and  Kenneth  Parks  with 
the  "I  Dare  You"  award. 


As  a  grand  finale  to  class  night,  the  seniors  had  a  candlelight  ceremony  and  sang  the  school  song.

Preparation  for  Graduation  Is  a  Handful 


Preparation  for  graduation  started 
early  as  one  winter  day  we  were  called 
to  the  cafeteria  to  order  our  announce¬ 
ments  and  caps  and  gowns  for  our  spring 
graduation.  We  also  ordered  our  senior 
class  jewelry  at  this  time.  This  was  only 


the  beginning,  as  shown  by  the  senior 
class  sponsors  who  also  said  prepara¬ 
tion  for  graduation  was  a  headache.  But 
the  preparation  was  the  last  step  to  grad¬ 
uation  which  we  all  took  with  one  giant 
leap. 


The  boys  of  the  Senior  Class,  under  strict  super¬ 
vision  of  Mrs.  Roberts,  await  their  turn  to  file  into 
position. 


There  are  many  different  things  one  can  do  with  her  hands  while  making 
a  decision,  as  demonstrated  by  Mrs.  Sandra  Jonas,  Marsha  Jones,  Patti 
Elliott  and  Carletta  Warren. 


The  girls  of  the  Senior  Class  line  up  according  to  height  to  have  their  Senior  Class  pictures  taken.

Cathy  Lowe  checks  with  Sally  Hill  and  Mrs.  Sandra 
Jonas  to  verify  her  place  on  the  program.  She 
read  Romans  12  from  the  LIVING  BIBLE. 


Life’s  Fundamentals 
Durable  and  Eternal 

A  former  teacher,  Mr.  Harry 
Denton,  laid  it  on  the  line.  He  said 
we  should  be  tuned  in  to  the  finer  things 
of  life.  The  order  of  worship  also 
included  scripture  and  prayer  and  two 
musical  selections  sung  by  a  girls' 
ensemble. 


About  one  half  of  the  senior  class  were  present  for 
the  baccalaureate.  After  lining  up  in  the  gym, 
Melanie  Harris,  Beth  Hughes,  Lee  Phipps,  and 
others  march  to  the  auditorium. 


Mr.  Harry  Denton,  baccalaureate  speaker,  stands 
immediately  beside  the  speaker's  stand.

Rain  Clouds  Mar 
Outdoor  Graduation 


A  beautiful  outdoor  graduation  had 
been  "the  dream",  but  rain-filled  clouds 
emptied  themselves  on  the  track  field 
Thursday  and  there  was  not  enough  sun¬ 
shine  to  soak  it  all  up  on  Friday.  At 
seven  o'clock,  we  were  lined  up  in  the 
gym  ready  for  that  final  march  into 
the  auditorium. 


Eddie  Jordon  steadies  himself  with  his  cane  while  lining  up  with  the  other 
seniors. 


Mike  Tate's  cap  needs  an  adjustment. 


With  cameras  flashing,  proud  seniors  march  to  the  stage. 


All  one  hundred  and  eighty-four  of  us  are  on  the  stage  because  the  Class  president  Sally  Hill  presides, 

other  seats  were  filled  with  relatives  and  friends. 


210 


With  "Pomp  and  Circumstance,  "  the 
class  marched  to  the  stage.  After  the  in¬ 
vocation  by  the  chaplain,  Becky  Barnett, 
the  top  four  seniors  spoke  proudly  and  ad¬ 
monished,  "Be  careful,  strive  to  be  happy 
for  tomorrow  is  the  first  day  of  the  rest  of 
your  life.  Travel  hopefully;  it  is  better 
than  to  arrive.  Develop  the  spiritual  man, 
within  you  and  make  love  your  aim”  and 
the  fifth  speaker  added  "Strive  to  maintain 
your  i  nd  i  vidual  ity ' ' . 

Mr.  Karl  Reedy  presented  the  top  ten 
percent  of  the  class  and  Mr.  Aubrey  Brown 
presented  the  diplomas.  After  the  bene¬ 
diction  by  Sgt.  -at-Arms.  Micheal  Gregory, 
we  merged  with  the  establishment.

Ten  years  from  now,  when  you  pick  up  this 
annual,  you  will  have  access  to  at  least  15 
new  electric  appliances  that  don't  even  exist 
today! 

Electrical  innovations  will  "make  the  scene” 
(as  we  say  in  1974)  to  benefit  health,  educa¬ 
tion,  industry  and  our  social  lives.  You’ll  also 
see  in  the  next  decade  more  electronic  equip¬ 
ment  to  purify,  filter,  recycle  and  generally 
clean  up  America. 

Electricity  is  doing  a  lot  of  things  for  you 
now.  It’s  going  to  do  a  lot  more  tomorrow. 
Our  prediction:  Life  will  keep  on  getting  better 
—  electrically.
